The committee reviewed topics to include in the BOE chair’s newsletter and other communications that will be published in the weeks before the budget referendum.

Committee members noted that the cell-phone policy and the school climate policy were on the agenda as first reads and that those items may attract community interest; the chair said she would consider including a brief headline about policy reviews in the newsletter.
